Sillustani is the most visited site near Puno after Lake Titicaca. On a peninsula above Lake Umayo, about 35 km from the city, stand the chullpas, tall stone funerary towers built by the Colla people and later by the Incas. Our half-day tour visits the site in the afternoon, when the light over the lake is best. If you are arriving by plane, the Sillustani tour from Juliaca Airport visits the site on the way to your hotel in Puno.
The trip between Cusco and Puno takes a full day. Instead of a direct bus, our tourist buses stop at the church of Andahuaylillas, the Inca temple of Raqchi and the La Raya pass, with a guide on board and lunch on the way. If you want to see more, our 2-day private tours combine the journey with a hike to Vinicunca and Pallay Punchu or Waqrapukara.
We are based in Puno and run our tours ourselves, with our own guides and partners in the island communities. That means direct answers on WhatsApp, flexible pickup times and local knowledge of every route we offer.
What are the best tours in Puno?
The most popular are the Uros and Taquile islands tour, the 2-day Amantani homestay tour and the Sillustani half-day tour. If you are traveling on, the Colca Canyon tour from Puno to Arequipa and the tourist bus to Cusco are the best ways to continue your trip.
How many days do I need in Puno?
Two to three days are enough for Sillustani and a 1- or 2-day tour on Lake Titicaca. Spending a few days in Puno also helps you adjust to the altitude.
How do I get from Cusco to Puno?
By tourist bus with stops at Andahuaylillas, Raqchi and La Raya, or on a 2-day private tour that adds Vinicunca. You can also fly to Juliaca Airport, one hour from Puno, and book our airport transfer.
Do your tours include hotel pickup?
Yes. All our tours include pickup from your hotel in Puno or at the point of departure.
Can I travel from Puno to Arequipa or La Paz on a tour?
Yes. Our Colca Canyon tours end in Arequipa, and our Lake Titicaca cruises to the Sun Island end in La Paz.
